Great video presentation on systemd

A video presentation on history and comparison of system layer, service initialization, different implementations across Unixes, NT, MacOS, BSD and Linux. Why did systemd show up, is it solving a problem, could I solve it better. Very good open minded, informative talk that explores different viewpoints and reasons.

I have no problems with systemd, except for the long commands - the systemctl needs to be typed out to systemc to autocomplete and binary journals. I posted this as good information and history of init, not with the intention to start a flame war.

As someone who has used FreeBSD more than Linux at home, the part about software getting more Linux specific echoed something I've wondered before. I saw a video of the same presentation given at a difference conference that went into a bit more on how BSD has an opportunity to make something better, which would be interesting since it's the FreeBSD project, not the systemd plus Linux kernel plus d-bus projects.
